Alpen Labs

Alpen Labs is a blockchain infrastructure company that builds financial markets on Bitcoin secured by zero-knowledge proofs, enabling the adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through programmable custody, credit, and yield products. The company's platform provides Bitcoin-native security with flexible key management and programmable custody, allowing users to create vaults with multi-signurrency support including BTC and USDC, 2-of-3 key architectures, configurable spending limits, and permission-based access controls.
